Subject:  Rule Change Suggestions

Hello Collegiate Cycling Conference Directors, Coaches and Riders.  The Collegiate Board of Trustees is soliciting suggestions for rule changes.  This year, we are moving to a bi-annual format where we will vote on rule changes twice per year and publish the result of these votes so you can prepare for upcoming rule changes.  All changes will still go in effect January 1st when the new rule books are published. 

The next rule change suggestion deadline is June 15th.  If you have any rule suggestion changes please send them to collegiaterules@...

using the proper format which can be found in the current rulebook (Rule 7B3).


For example here is one rule change suggestion we are considering:

B / C ) The language of the new rule will be:

Changes to the Rules. The Board of Trustees considers changes to the Rules once twice per year; at road and mountain bike nationals. (i) To be considered, a proposed rule change must be submitted prior to April 15th / September 15th to the Chairperson by a Conference Director, acting on his or her own behalf or on behalf of one or more Riders or other individuals. To be considered, each proposed rule change must include (A) the affected section of the Rules; (B) the language of the rule as then in effect; (C) the proposed revision to the rule; and (D) an explanation of and justification for the proposed rule change. (ii) The Board of Trustees will endeavor to publish to each Conference between September 1 and September 15 twice per year; however rules will not go into effect until January 1st all proposals submitted prior to July 1. (iii) The Chairperson will accept feedback from Riders and other individuals up to and including the earlier of October 31 and the Collegiate Cycling Mountain Bike National Championship, and the Board of Trustees will debate and vote on all proposed rule changes thereafter.

D)Justification: This rule change is being suggested to allow more time for riders to be informed of upcoming rule changes. If road rules are submitted and voted on in the spring then riders will have an entire season to act on them before they are put into effect on January 1.
